Demonata Lord Loss by Darren Shan is a horrific book. Darren Shan also wrote the Cirque du Freak series. The Cirque du Freak is about vampires and Demonata is about demons, but he changes the ways a little bit. He also adds in some minor characters that affect the way the book starts and ends.
Darren Shan changes the characteristics of the creatures in his books. Like in Demonata, the demons are different in what we used to think about demons. Humans are usualy the innocent ones, but in Demonata, the humans are the ones that have to summon the demons so the demons would appear. And in Demonata, you can't use magic unless there's a demon around. And only a group of people could fight demons.
The main character in demonata is a guy named Grubbs Grady. He's kind of big for his age. He doesn't realy fit anywhere, so he just stands near a group of people to make himself look like he's a part of them. Another character is Grubbs' uncle, Dervish Grady. Dervish knows magic and uses his spells to help fight demons. He's a pretty tall man that used to have spiky hair, but he got onler an lost hair. Dervish lives in a mansion that was once a palace that ned by a murderous tyrant. The palace broke down an Dervish turned it into a mansion. The other charactor is a boy named Bill-E Grady. His real name is Billy Grady. He is kind of chubby and has a lazy left eye. He know some magic because Dervish taught him. Lord Loss isn't really a character, but he's pretty important to the series. Lord Loss is this floating bag of skin that has two legs and eight arms. His skin color is a lighter shade of red. His eyes are crimson red. And he doesn't have a heart. Where his heart should be, it's realy just a hole filled with snakes.
The Demonata books is a book for people who likes to be scared. Unlike the Cirque du Freak series, the Demonata series is scary. I recommend not readin it at night time. Darren Shan describes the demons and people perfectly. Unfortunately and fortunately, he describes the massacres that happens in the book perfectly. If your not ready to be scared, then don't read the book. In the book, Grubbs parents made a decision to save Grubbs and let them die without him because they loved him. Would you risk your own lives to save someone you love?

The Last Olympian
The Last Olympian is the last book of the Percy Jackson series. The Percy Jackson series were written by Rick Riordan. You dont realy have to read the books before it to understand whats going on. You just need to know the characters. The main character is Percy Jackson, Annebeth Chase, and Grover Underwood. The book is told from Percy's point of view. In the book, it always gives alot of information away about whats going to happen next. Those information are usually given away when half-bloods have dreams.
(spoiler alert) In the book, Percy goes through many adventures to try to defeat the Titans. The book is based on Grrek gods in the present time. Every hero in the book has to go to camp Half-blood so tey could get proper training exept for children of Hades(god of underworld/death). In the book, the characters help each other an their friends alot. sometimes even risking their lives.
This book is recommended to people who like Greeks gods, people risking lives, people disapearing mysteriously, and people dying. It's also for people who likes reading how people help friends. The Last Olympian isn't a book that's full of suspence. Sometimes the book may surprise you with unexpected attacks from the Titans. It's also thats very VERY detailed. Very little of the book doesn't have detailed.
The book's not only about the Greek gods, but also about the Titans(immortal beings that lived before gods). The king of Titans, Kronos, wants to kill the gods so he could come to power again. (spoiler alert) Like most books, they always end in a good way. In the end, Percy doesn't defeat Kronos physically, he defeats him by convincing Luke(the body Kronos took so he could be alive) to kill himself so he could destroy Kronos with him. would you kill yourself to kill somthing evil within you so it wouldn't harm others?
